Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to undergo selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of various functional groups. Its structure is favorable for modifying biological activity in drug candidates, especially in targeting inflammatory diseases and central nervous system disorders. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
